I second that - grip or sound-juicer are good. Both do CDDB lookup etc.

You may be irritated by the defaults with both apps to read carefully,
cdparanoia style, which drops the rip rate to ~2x on my laptop.
Personally I reckon it's worth it and go and get a cuppa (the CD drive
is too noisy to keep working), but you may wish to change the settings
in which case I think you need grip, as sound-juicer doesn't appear to
have a 'quick' setting. I may be wrong, of course!
